Identification of Two Genetic Loci Associated with Leukopenia after Chemotherapy in Patients with Breast Cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To identify molecular predictors of grade 3/4 neutropenic or leukopenic events (NLE) after chemotherapy using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A GWAS was performed on patients in the phase III chemotherapy study SUCCESS-A (n = 3,322). Genotyping was done using the Illumina HumanOmniExpress-12v1 array. Findings were functionally validated with cell culture models and the genotypes and gene expression of possible causative genes were correlated with clinical treatment response and prognostic outcomes. RESULTS: One locus on chromosome 16 (rs4784750; NLRC5; P = 1.56E-8) and another locus on chromosome 13 (rs16972207; TNFSF13B; P = 3.42E-8) were identified at a genome-wide significance level. Functional validation revealed that expression of these two genes is altered by genotype-dependent and chemotherapy-dependent activity of two transcription factors. Genotypes also showed an association with disease-free survival in patients with an NLE. CONCLUSIONS: Two loci in NLRC5 and TNFSF13B are associated with NLEs. The involvement of the MHC I regulator NLRC5 implies the possible involvement of immuno-oncological pathways.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
